Reviews for Vivino: Drink the Right Wine

this app used to be great. now they no longer show if a wine is a great, good, or poor match for me and what I like UNLESS!!! you pay for premium. LAME. this was my go to when I didnt know what wine to buy at the store but now everything is a 😀 match for me (which means good?) Creators of this app, you have messed with a good thing.

Be careful if you select an alternative vintage. It will default to the main one. I have reported it but their customer service is extremely poor. Everything is great until you have an issue then their customer service is a disgrace.

I canceled the premium version of this app months ago but kept the free version. The cancelation was confirmed. August comes and I was charged again. This is an unexpected and unauthorized charge. I hope that Vivino has the integrity to reverse the charge.

Great source of knowledge. Sometimes you cannot find what you scan, and sinetimes the wine is miscategorised as it can happen with any large data base, but whether you are a novice, enthusiast or fine connaisseur (proper spelling, not connoi-sseur, which infuriates me to see) this App has something for you and saves you tonnes of legwork. I recommend ViVino

The "new and better" version hides wine list scanner under a paywall. UI is bloated with ads, barely usable. the label scanning is getting worse, the new feature of "cropping the label" crops way too much, usually the year is cut out.

started out great, but for the last year it does not recognise any wine that is scanned in. on WiFi or cellular. Very frustrating because otherwise it is a great way of logging the wines you'd like to buy again.

I love this app! it allows me to take pictures of the wine side drink and save them in my personal memory bank, as well as rate them for others to read. I also love that I can look up wines I hear about and bookmark them for future reference. only four stars because I don't like the frequency of trying to sell something to me

A lesson in how a great app (once rated 4+) can be undermined by greed. About 18 months ago they made great fanfare about new features. Instead they blocked key functionality unless you paid an (exorbitant) subscription. Thankfully, a phase of ad bombardment seems to have subsided - but the subscription to unlock key features remains over the top. This app exists only through the rich content provided by users. The (new?) owners need to recognise this and work out a fairer business model.

unfortunately the accuracy of the app has really gone downhill. it gets prices way wrong and often returns wines that aren't even close to the label photo. perhaps its better for the paid version, but don't waste your time with this app for the free version.

This app is so bad. The makeover made it even worse. It could be so functional but cellar tracking is bad, syncing is off (also vs website) lots of wines have no drinking window, selecting different years and then adding to cellar gives wrong year in cellar, and it goes on. Wine menu scanning is only reason for premium but even that doesn't work properly. Also missing professional scores and reviews, which would be very value add, and other apps have this.

This app is great for keeping track of my tasting history, managing what I have on hand, learning about wines, building taste profiles. The label scanning feature isn't faultless, but it works pretty well. One issue is that the crowd-sourced ratings and tasting notes on wine turn out to be almost useless. Another issue is that over time the UI has gotten pretty confusing, as has some information presentation. The app is quite difficult to navigate and use in it's current form.

This app is more full of ads to buy wine than documentation of the wines you want and have. It would be really nice to be able to add in the price of the wine you are adding to your cellar rather than it being buried in the notes. Also have that price field displayed when looking at the cellar list. It already has the average cost to buy it there, but not what I purchased it at. This seems like a no brained to add.

I opened the app today after not having used it for a while and I was dumbfounded. "Level up your profile"? Seriously? This is no longer a serious, professional tool. In stead it forces you to rate, share, like, comment, invite and buy. Everything in the User Interface is moving, trying to get your attention. A real pity.

I am extremely disappointed to find out what has happened with this, once wonderful, app! I can understand the ads throughout, but popup ads? Is this a game? It's bad enough the app lags when the service is bad, but now with the added ads it takes forever to load. Why not offer the app for a set price instead of a monthly fee? I'm so upset ☹️

Potential but plagued by support issues. If you pay for an app, and that is the case here, I subscribed to the premium version, then you should expect at least a minimum level of support to be available. Instead, the chat bot is completely useless unless it's about a wine order. Im having a lot of trouble with the "wine adventures" part, which is a premium service and I cant talk to anyone or email anyone to help me as the bot doesn't understand anything beyond absolute basics. Disappointing.

What are the developers doing? Killing a fabulous app with actually millions of users all over the world? It used to be fast and accurate when finding labels. Now it takes forever to read it, and oftentimes, it's wrong. And it used to be FREE. It's ok with me to have adds. But now the 'wine adventures' are for paying users only. You're killing your app, vivino.

A decent app for rating wines, but the spam generated is pretty annoying. The app does a decent job a reading the label of a wine bottle, although I wish that it read the bar code instead, because the lookup can be a bit slow. However, what led me to uninstall the app were the marketing e-mails that I received every other day. It is bad enough that I was receiving these messages in the first place, since I never opted-in to be solicited, but even after I opted-OUT, I continue to get them.

I would rank it much higher as it delivers exactly what is intended. Scanning much less accurate now; 2 out 5 scans are wrong. The problem is having gone to a "subscription" model. Recent updates have allowed intrusive ads. I would pay a one time charge for an ad free experience but not hundreds of dollars. Which is what will happen eventually. And while I can ask for my data to be removed, according to the privacy policy. No ability to download my wine info. Years of collecting wasted!!

After recent update, the app has downgraded in quality. After it guesses the vintage wrong, I'm unable to select my own year. It somehow confuses the year I selected and added to wishlist to the wine I scanned. Also the picture I took of the bottle is no longer shown, instead their default is shown, which is often incorrect or too dark to recognize. I don't know why they felt they needed to make almost perfect product worse, but they definitely achieved that. Contracts! NOT.

Decent, but far from great. The wine menu scanning is no longer free, but the biggest flaw is the rating system. Instead of evaluating individual vintages, all ratings are aggregated, making them virtually meaningless. If you're looking for a rating on a specific year's vintage, you're out of luck. Until this is fixed, the app remains merely average.
